- Requesting a pay-for-delete agreement: Such an agreement means that Synchrony Bank commits to deleting the debt from your credit report once you pay the agreed amount.
- Asking for goodwill deletion: Synchrony Bank has no legal obligation to delete the debt after you pay; they are only required to change the status from unpaid to paid.
